I also love tea, I didn't include that in this post because I wrote <a href="http://www.thefitshack.com/2007/08/08/4-simple-and-healthy-drink-alternatives/">another post</a> about it. I don't include sugar in these options because I believe that sugar is addictive (besides having zero nutrients for the body), based on my experience and my research. If you don't have a problem with it though, then it could work for you, but I still wouldn't recommend it for your health. ;) That's also why I haven't listed fruit juices. Even if you can find the processed juices that contain nothing besides the juice, they are high in natural sugar, which can give you cravings for more sugar. However, I don't have a problem with sugar cravings when I drink plain fresh juice like I did when I did my <a href="http://www.thefitshack.com/2007/09/18/how-to-prevent-breast-cancer-with-periodic-mono-dieting/">mono diet experiment</a>. I <em>would</em> recommend juicing your own fresh fruit over the store bought kind, you'll get many more nutrients out of it. So there's my rundown on why this post only had 3 choices listed. I hope this helps.... also, thank you very much for your compliment, I really appreciate it Harlan. :) Hi Harlan, thanks for your comments!

I would like to add some healthy drink ideas for your consideration. What about things like tea? I usually drink iced green tea with about 2 teaspoons of sugar per quart(which is about 1 1/4 grams of suger per serving, and it takes out the bitterness). Also, I drink a lot of 100% juice. ocean spray 100% cranberry juice is wonderful. (it is mixed with sweeter juices like apple and grape to sweeten it) same with a new tropicana 100% grapefruit juice. Then there are the grape and apple juices. There has to be more than three choices out here :) keep up the good work. Great blog, I just found it this week.
